Symptoms

When installing Confluence, the warning appears:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'scheduler' defined in class path resource schedulingSubsystemContext.xml: Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is org.quartz.SchedulerException: Based on configured schedule, the given trigger will never fire.

Cause

It's possible to encounter this if your country's way of reading timestamps differs from the Gregorian (Western) calendar. For example, one user encountered this problem in Thailand, which worked out the current year (2005) to be 2548.

Resolution

Change the operating system's calculation of the date to resemble the Gregorian (Western) calendar and restart your application server. The scheduling subsystem in Confluence is based on Quartz.
